Being a huge fan of medieval history and sites, and devouring stories of the time of the Shinsengumi, Shoguns, Ninjas and all… and mythology of Kamiyo and all that kind of things made Kyoto one of the top places on my bucket list…
I have been lucky and have been to the Tanah Lot Temple twice, so far…but you know what, I can not get tired of it…Tanah Lot is a lovely place to visit and steeped in history since it has been there since the late 15th century or the beginning of the 16th century…. Tanah Lot…
We started our day 2 at about 10am when our driver Ali came to pick us up.. you must be wondering why I start my tour so late but well, when we travel with someone older, our pace probably have to slow down… if I were to be traveling alone or with my daughter, chances…
